The news is changing everyday, But I still act the same way. Jane took me out to eat. It was a real treat. And though I can't see how young I appear to be, I'm still learning how to be myself Without ruining someone else. How long will the train wait Before it passes you by. Maybe I'll take a drive All the way to Skive. And though I can't see how young I appear to be, I'm still learning how to be myself Without ruining someone else. Where did the time go? Where did it go? I'm growing old. Where did I go? Where did we go? I'm going home.

Yr Birthday 02:37
It's yr birthday today, and I won't be there I just wanted to say, have a good time regardless b/c it's 90 degrees, like never before and you're lit like the candles on yr cake, and you're still looking for a job and we'll swap faces w/ the portraits and listen to Songs of the Silent Age The river looks so calm, as I hear jazz played beside They all listen to Morell, or gaze when he's quiet Now the church bells are ringing for someone else's wedding day As we see the corn start growing, I know the harvest is on its way Won't you slide over to me, it's cooler in the shade You can whisper to me what you're thinking Only babies know why they're sobbing, Only babies know why they're smiling I just wanted to tell you something I could not think of in the moment.

Sk8 or Die 03:00
She was in a conversation once, tring, tring, tring, I hear the telephone ring You and her were following things through, You were dancing lights And if you see her, it's better never l8, So why don't we sk8 or die The ice is getting thin, The water's getting warm, I just want to jump in with you She was singing her little chanson With Jean Dujardin Heureux pour toujours. And if you see her, it's better never l8, So why don't we sk8 or die The ice is getting thin, The water's getting warm, I just want to jump in with you I carry you in my heart.

Golf 03:19
My uncle got a set of golf clubs on his birthday We talked on the telephone last night, he said we ought to play And I've never played a game in my life, but I said, I said okay When we played I was like a castaway And my uncle, he smiled at me the whole time 'Twas only midday and we both sweat like pigs And now we, we drift away And I'll never be good at golf You can put that in your screenplay It's something you can write off I'll never be good at golf Rich men, who are nothing like me, sit out on the lawn Smoking their fancy cigars with their sweet broads and mercedes And seeing them kind of makes me wish sort of makes me dream, but I I'll never be good at golf I'm just a piece of (shit/ millennial) who talks I'll close my eyes to all their fame And I'll fly so far away, I'll fly slowly, And I'll fly so far away.

Benchmarks 02:16
I saw you burning your dress the other day And I wanted to tell you what I thought Take it to the man to take it to the woman to Take it to the man to take it to the woman We don't know who is in charge and we are lost And the people above they tell us How to live our lives and how to sacrifice our lives How to live our lives and how to sacrifice our lives Here we are and another day is gone And the leaves on the trees are changing Changing for you and changing for me too Changing for you and changing for me too And we try to stick together, but don't get sentimental please Because I'm gonna cry you, a river for you to go swimming in And though we work up to a point I gotta say I love looking at bench marks And I know you do too Yes I know you do too I love you.

The rabbit's in the rain oh no You are going insane oh no You used to have a charm Now you cause more harm Throwing the flowers down the drain and yeah I almost missed my train I heard him say my name, calling out for nails and paint of which I have none to spare nor do I even care Well the walls have had holes before so paint a picture to adore One where the rabbit's got a nice fur coat One where his family is close to him One where they've all got food to eat One where it's all tidy and neat One where all's at peace

Chippenham 02:59
Chippenham, The drooping flag, The smell of old times; The sounds of Van Dyke and football games; Dogs walking men And thoughts of moving friends And you're still here, when I've I've been gone for/four years Swimming pools, poker nights, I'll drive my dad's car; I'll mow the lawn, when laundry's out of the basket Don't forget about school... And you're not here anymore I've been walking around looking for You, or somebody new It'll be snowing soon
8.
So you want to move on without bringing me along Looking through my dresser drawer it's like sitting on the ocean floor (I try to loosen my body) Well you came out of my dreams and into my schemes I recall my fall And I recall your face When it came over me.

The sights and sounds from yesterday with you How they've stuck with me, how you picked up from me The laughs, the naps, the insatiable acts I thought they'd end, I knew they'd all end But I'll wait by my mailbox in summer shoes and sweaty socks You who I cherish open a pen and write something down or draw me something pretty There's no such thing as a cool kid It's all make believe what we tell ourselves It's never really there Because too many people feed off of other people And I'll wait by my mailbox in summer shoes and sweaty socks You who I cherish open a pen and write something down or draw me something pretty There's no such thing as a smart kid It's all make believe what we tell ourselves It's never really there Because too many people feed off of other people

Tiny Desk 02:57
Another page with a face gets pushed to the side This desk knows who I am, I can tell it's been cluttered before With all the notes and letters help us forget, get over her -Because they don't lie here anymore And I know, friends, you tell me the sun is out shining today Let me tell you, dear friends, you can outshine me this way All the thoughts and words, I understood what you've implied -And I don't want to lie to you no more See, all the rain is in my head, look at my watch, it's time for bed (look out my window, it's sunny instead)
